Idiotarod 2005: The Passion of the Pig

Yesterday, we participated in the 2nd annual Idiotarod, the race in which each team of five runs a shopping cart from Fulton Ferry Pier in Brooklyn to--after a few mandatory pit-stops at watering holes--Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. Our hastily assembled team, Porky's Resurrection, was humble in appearance, with our cart sporting only our mascot, The Blow-up Pig; nevertheless, the afternoon was one of great Passion. Behold the pictures:

The Pig before Her Trial


The Stations of the Cart: Their carts on their backs, the teams climb the stairs to the bridge, as spectators hurl ice and insults from above. The Pig is hit by a block of ice and loses a Leg. She quickly deflates.


The Holy See blesses team and Fallen Pig


Fear not, believers; the appearance of the Easter Bunny augurs well. Our Pig shall rise again!
